MEAT FAMINE THREATENED.

Beef to Go as High as When the Cow
Jumped Over the Moon.
CHICAGO, Aug 28-Tho Tribune this morn
ing has long article on the dressed beef
ring, and how IL is profiting by the low
price OF cattle It says It is assumed in
many quarters that beef famine is not far
away. Estimates as to the destruction Of
cattle in the Northwest last winter are that
in Montana there were about 400, 600 head,
in Idaho about 100000, In Wyoming about
800, 900, in Colorado about $4,000; or $4,000
In all. During the summer on account OF
the excessive drought, 1t is estimated that
the losses in the beef producing States,
such as Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Missouri, Kan
sas and in New Mexico, Texas, Minnesota,
Nebraska and Dakota, swell the total to
1,5O00O0 head of beeves. Many, however,
assert that these figures are far
too. high. But this Is not the main
fact which indicates future famine.
1t Is now known that from 80 to as per
cent. less of calves were born this spring
than is usual, owing to climatic causes,
which must have its effect in time. To this
must be added the fact that cattle pro-
ducers have been rushing their sur
viving stock on the market at an un-
PARALLEL rate, and that from these
and other causes many ranchmen are dis
couraged and going out Of the business.
Those who are opposed to this view argue
that there are still 2S,000,0OO beeves
and 100000 mich cows in the country.
The bulk Of these, however, enter into
local consumption and use. A great un.
easiness, such as never before character.
lied the cattle business, is manifest in
business circles. The producer finds not
dollar of profit and more often heavy
losses charged against his account. The
market price has been low on account OF
the glut, for in Chicago alone over 200, O,oOC
head Of cattle have been thrust OH tho
market during the last thirty days.

The London News" Says:

Among the many specifics introduced to
the public for the cure of dyspepsia, indiges-
ton, arrangements of various kinds and a
general family medicine, none have met with
such genuine appreciation as Hop Bitters.
Introduced to this country but short time
since to meet the great demand for pure,
safe and perfect family medicine, it is the
most popular medicine known. 1t is famous
by reason of its inherent virtues. 1t does all
that is claimed for it. 1t discharges it cura-
tive powers without any OF the evil effects of
other bitters or medicine, being perfectly
safe and harmless for the most frail woman,
smallest child and weakest invalid TO use.
Few are the homes indeed where the great
discovery has not been hailed as deliyerer
and welcomed as friend. 1t does what
others affect to do. Composed of simple
materials it is a marvel of delicate and sue
cessful combination. Nothing is wanting.
Every ingredient goes straight to the mark
at which 1t is aimed, and never fails. Pleas
ant to the palate, agreeable to the stomach
and thoroughly effective as a cure, 1t has
won for itself the confidence of all.
Hop Bitters are used in six of the large
London Hospitals and in similar institutions
throughout the world, and are the purest and
best medicine ever made.
